There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Franklin Park to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
